These pretty sisters Poppy and Sadie are looking for a wonderful home/s!

They came into care with their babies and shared parenting duties, it was lovely to see! Now that their babies have grown and gone onto great homes, they're looking for forever homes for themselves.

These two are extremely smoochy and quite the characters. Poppy is the beauty with the white chest, while Sadie is the stunning grey and cream. They are very confident girls (Sadie takes a little longer than her sister to warm up) and Poppy in particular is always keen to get a game started by grabbing a toy and running around with it.

They have been living with 4 big cat friendly dogs and really enjoy smooching up to them. They also love lazing around and getting pats whenever possible. Poppy and Sadie don't have to be adopted together, but they said it would be nice!

To apply for one or both please fill out an application form at the link below.

Meet Janelle, a gentle and sweet cat looking for a loving home. Though her time in care has been brief, she has already begun to show her lovely nature, warming up with each day that passes. It's apparent that with patience and kindness, Janelle will flourish into a delightful companion.
Janelle would like a home with no dogs as she gets very stressed when dogs are around. Janelle must be an inside only cat due to her pink nose!

At just two weeks of age, this little one came into our care after being rushed to a 24-hour veterinary clinic on Tuesday night, two weeks ago. ❤

Unfortunately, its sibling had been killed by a dog, while he was found in the dog's mouth. Thankfully he was unharmed and is being-fed around the clock by our Director as you can see, he is feeding very well. 🐱🍼

Those tiny ears are indeed adorable. 🥰

You can make his Christmas 🎄 special by donating to help us help them.

They organized a Bake Sale to support a cause.

We were so thrilled when our small rescue organization was chosen to receive the funds raised by these incredible young women.

It's heartwarming to witness the younger generation taking initiative to aid our four-legged friends.

From all of us at Helping Hands Animal Rescue and the animals we assist, we extend our heartfelt thanks!

Introducing Buffy!

Buffy is an exceptionally confident and affectionate girl—she's always the first to greet newcomers and is eager to befriend visiting dogs. She knows exactly when she desires affection and isn't shy about requesting it. She's also a fan of belly rubs and will contentedly fall asleep in your arms or on your lap whenever you're still for a moment.

Buffy has a passion for her toys! She's ecstatic over a ping pong ball or a string toy and is particularly thrilled when chasing a laser pointer.

Buffy is sociable, making her an ideal addition to a lively home with children, other pets, and frequent visitors. Or, if you work from home, she'd be the perfect constant companion.

If Buffy sounds like the kitten that will fit right into your home, apply to meet and adopt her by completing an application at helpinghandsanimalrescue.org.au/cat-adoption-form.

Buffy eagerly awaits your response!

Full Moon Tonight -

What does this mean.... well it means that for 1 kangaroos will be moving around more! When we have a full moon kangaroos tend to move around more between feeding grounds and if the calls this morning are anything to go by its going to be a busy day tomorrow!

Today was a busy day for one of our volunteers! 4 Kangaroo Pouch Checks and 2 Kangaroo Rescues before midday! Unfortunately there was no saves today but the calls just kept rolling in.

Please drive carefully and slow down during dusk and dawn and especially in the areas you know kangaroos are in!

If you do hit an animal or see one laying on the side of the road, pick up your phone and call your local wildlife rescue group or Wildlife Victoria on 03 8400 7300 so that the animal can be rescued or a pouch check done!

Meet Sweet Sadie. 😻

She came to us with her sister, Poppy, and their kittens. Now that her kittens have found homes, it's Sadie's turn to find a forever family. Sadie may need some time to adjust to new people and places, unlike her sister. However, adopting her with Poppy could make her transition smoother, though it's not essential. Having lived with four dog-friendly cats, she's quite at ease around others. 🥰

At just over a year old, Sadie has grown to love her human's affectionate pats. Her stunning marbled coat is sure to draw attention. Like Poppy, Sadie would fit well in a home with children and dogs that are accustomed to cats, as long as she has a snug spot for her catnaps. 🐈

If Sadie, or perhaps both sisters, have charmed you into considering them as your new feline companions, you are welcome to view her profile below and send us an inquiry. 🐾

Meet the delightful Poppy. 😻

She arrived in our care alongside her sister and their kittens. With her kittens now adopted, it's Poppy's turn to find a permanent home. Poppy's playful nature shines as she frolics with toys, showcasing her confident and curious spirit. She relishes lounging and savours affectionate pats. Having lived with four dog-friendly cats, she's become quite fond of their company. 🐈

At just over a year old, Poppy retains her youthful charm. She's an ideal match for a household with cat-aware children and dogs, provided there's a cozy spot for her to enjoy her catnaps. 😺

Should Poppy capture your heart as the feline friend you've been seeking, please feel free to view her profile below and reach out with an inquiry. 🐾

A heartfelt thank you to our good friends Karen and Corey from Dog Solutions for doing an amazing job rescuing this gorgeous boy.

Karen and Corey were leaving home yesterday morning to go to work at Puppy School when they came across this gorgeous boy laying in the middle of a dirt road shivering cold with his mum standing guard over him.

They called us for advice on what to do, after a quick talk through with one of our experienced kangaroo rescuers a plan was hatched to be able to allow them to assess the situation enough to see if we could help him get back into mum's pouch if uninjured or take into care, if there were signs of injuries.

Holding a blanket up so that they could get in between mum and bub they were able to ascertain that the baby could not stand on his own and he was quickly bundled up and taken into the car. He was freezing cold, and mum took off once he was in the car.

Another quick call to our rescuer saw them meeting up in Thomastown where they were headed for our rescuer to collect the joey and get a more thorough assessment.

On arrival in Thomastown Karen and Corey had done an amazing job of getting him warmed up a fair bit and he was then transferred into a pre warmed pouch with heat packs and the next trip to the rescuer/carers home was made.

He was offered some warm Lectade (a rehydration fluid for animals) and a proper assessment done where it was found that when laying down and trying to stand his left leg was not doing what it should.

A quick call to the amazing team at Werribee Open Range Zoo Vets who were happy to see him and do the necessary x-rays to establish what was going on.

Unfortunately, the x-rays proved that he indeed had several fractures in his spine just above the pelvis which unfortunately means a lot of pain and not a good outlook for recovery. The heart wrenching decision was made to humanely euthanize him so that no further pain or suffering occurred.

We take solace in knowing that he left this world, warm cosy and with a nice feeling in his belly rather than laying out on a cold wet muddy road slowly freezing to death or being taken by a predator.

Although the outcome of this story was not what we hoped for, we use this as an education to people that if you see an animal laying on or beside a road or in a paddock and it doesn't seem right to just pick up the phone and call a rescue group for advice.

A massive heartfelt thank you to Karen and Corey for calling and then picking up this precious boy and to the team at Werribee Zoo vets.

The Amazing Amber. 🐈💝

Amber is a delightful girl who values her independence but also enjoys affection and the occasional cuddle. Her favourite activities include playing with her toys, snuggling under blankets, purring happily, and chirping at you. Amber has been in care for over 540 days with minimal interest, which baffles us as to why.

Adopting an older kitten has its benefits; their personality is fully formed, making it easier to find one that fits your family's lifestyle. Moreover, it doesn't take long to become best friends. Often, those who have lost their original human companions view their new humans as heroes.

Looking for that four-legged friend to keep you company, contact us or inquire through the link below today! 🐾

Introducing Evie and Lemmie, a charming and playful pair of female kittens who are seeking a loving home together. It takes a special person to adopt one, an extraordinary person to adopt two together!

Evie is the affectionate one who will greet you with purrs of joy as soon as you enter, turning every homecoming into a heartwarming event. While she prefers not to be lifted, Evie will snuggle beside you on the sofa for some cozy cuddling. A lover of sunlight, she often lounges in its glow, sleeping alongside Lemme or in the comfort of her human's bed. 🧡🤍🤎

Lemme is slightly more self-reliant yet just as endearing. She finds amusement for hours on end with her beloved toys. Like Evie, she purrs when you arrive and cherishes sleeping with her sister and in her human's bed. In contrast to Evie, Lemme enjoys being held, offering perfect opportunities for cuddles. 🖤🤍

If you believe you are the extraordinary person who can provide a home for these two girls, please don't hesitate to reach out to us through the link provided below. 🐾

⏰ Daylight Saving Time Reminder ⏰

Just a reminder that as we turn our clocks forward by an hour tomorrow, it is important to remember that "wildlife do not have clocks." As you commute to and from work, be mindful that wildlife may be active at unusual times. With the increase in daylight hours, remain vigilant not only at dusk and dawn but also in the periods just before dusk and just after dawn.

Our time change does not align with the natural patterns of wildlife, so please be cautious.

Remember, wildlife does not have clocks!

Her sociable nature and love for companionship, Nutmeg envisions a lively home teeming with friendly faces, engaging activities, constant cuddles, and most importantly, the unique bond that comes with family life.
